介绍（中）	鼻烟壶远非微不足道，而是由多个训练有素的专家创造的，如金匠、追逐者、珐琅师和微型画家，他们共同努力生产这些复杂而小巧的奢侈品形式。这个鼻烟壶的标志是巴黎金匠丹尼尔·古弗斯（Daniel Gouvers），他的名字可以刻在盒子的下唇上。作品盖子和底部追逐的动态贝壳、卷轴和栏杆图案是 18 世纪早期至中期在法国占主导地位的洛可可式鼻烟壶的典型特征。类似的图案可以在Gouers的另一件作品中找到（48.187.419）。在里面，这个鼻烟壶的特色是一个女人拿着一只鸽子的肖像，设置在黑暗的风景中，这是基于罗莎巴·卡里拉（Rosalba Carriera）画作的缩影。尽管这位意大利艺术家以古斯塔夫·汉密尔顿（Gustavus Hamilton）等精英保姆的柔和肖像而闻名，博因第二子爵（2002.22）也在博物馆中，但实际上她的职业生涯始于装饰鼻烟壶盖子的微型画家，最终在 1704 年确立了她作为罗马著名的圣卢卡学院成员的声誉。
介绍（英）	Far from trivial, snuffboxes were the creation of multiple highly trained specialists such as goldsmiths, chasers, enamellers, and miniaturists, who worked together to produce these complex and diminutive forms of luxury. This snuffbox is marked by Daniel Gouvers, a Parisian goldsmith whose name can be found inscribed on the lower lip of the box. The dynamic shell, scroll, and balustrade motifs chased on the lid of the piece and on the bottom are typical of the Rococo-style snuffboxes that predominated in France in the early to mid-eighteenth century. Similar motifs can be found in another piece by Gouers in the collection (48.187.419). Inside, this snuffbox features the portrait of a woman holding a dove set within a dark landscape, a miniature based on a painting by Rosalba Carriera. Although the Italian artist became well known for pastel portraits of elite sitters such as Gustavus Hamilton, Second Viscount Boyne (2002.22), also in the museum, she in fact had begun her career as a miniaturist decorating the lids of snuffboxes, before eventually establishing her reputation as a member of Rome’s prestigious Accademia di San Luca in 1704.
